Dairy Farm Management and Data Analytics

The assignment delves into the operational aspects of a dairy farm, highlighting the importance of site managers, data collection, and storage. It emphasizes the application of data mining and predictive analytics to anticipate potential issues and optimize processes. The role of enterprise architecture in facilitating communication and information sharing across different farm functions is also discussed. Specific examples are provided regarding young stock rearing and milk production.

Tasks
Task 2.1
ArchiFarm is a dairy industry that is in Australia. Due to major super markets the milk
producers are facing considerable pressure. The ArchiFarm has 3 production sites. The main
business objects of the Archi farm are production site, administration management and the
control station. The farm has number of contracts with the distributors, the collected milk is
refrigerated in the trucks. They separate the milk of the sick cow for the purpose of quality. The
process such as milk production, cow's health and their feed arte carried out in the Production
and operation management. Administration management handles the employee, farm workers.
Local feeders and the site manager. The actions related to the collection of milk and their quality
is carried out in the control station. The organization executes standard administration structures,
with the board including the CxO parts at the extremely top. The organization's calculated
operations and customer contact are dealt with by the organization's head office situated in
Sydney. Every creation site is overseen by a Site Manager who has duty regarding administering
and coordinating the operations of the site. ArchiFarm has contracts with various merchants, who
gather and ship the drain in refrigerated holders by truck for additionally preparing and discount.
The gathering plan is pre-determined in the agreement, and ArchiFarm is subject to pay
remuneration of the concurred amount of new drain is inaccessible or if the item neglects to pass
quality control procedures. ArchiFarm has found out about PLF advancements for wellbeing
observing and wishes to execute information driven wellbeing checking among all its creation
destinations.
The Figure 1 and Figure2 give the structure of the ArchiFarm in Archimate tool. The
precision Livestock Management in the Dairy farming has the business objects like the support
Activities and the procurement of the Cow’s food. By attaching the sensors in the cow’s ear the

health conditions of the Cow can be recorded. The site Manager is responsible for updating the
data to the management (Booch, 2010).

Task 2.2
In ArchiFarm the data is recorded regarding the health condition of the cow and heard
recording. This is a critical procedure in sickness anticipation and control. Its goal is to guarantee
dairy animals are continuously sound and free of disease. What's more, wellbeing observing
encourages speedy ID of infections and definition of treatment designs with the goal that sullying
is all around controlled. All the collected data is recorded and it is the responsibility of the Site

Manager to take of all these process. Every creation site is overseen by a Site Manager who has
duty regarding supervising and coordinating the operations of the site. The Site Manager
intermittently reports creation and other operational information to the head office who utilizes
this information for arranging purposes. The Site Manager is upheld by representatives and ranch
specialists. Each site keeps up a regulatory office that performs HR and site administration
obligations and composes temporary workers for upkeep works. The biggest generation site
keeps up a different support unit, though the littler destinations outsource upkeep to temporary
workers (Tambouris et al., 2012).

Task 2.3
Stock raising includes the raising of youthful calves from birth until the point when a period
when they are prepared to create drain. It was accepted that this procedure is physically
performed. This procedure has five stages and one trigger
1. Calf is nourished colostrum amid initial 12 hours of life.
2. Calf is nourished drain and water after.
3. Calf is weaned off drain, onto solids.
4. Calf cleanliness and nourishment is kept up.
Feeding is an imperative procedure in the administration of dairy animal’s nourishment.
Legitimately sustained cows are normally more beneficial. The Victoria site has programmed
nourishing stations that administer a custom amount of creature sustain to every individual dairy
animals. At the NSW destinations, cultivate laborers physically apportion sustains to dairy
animals utilizing tractors (Oduntan and Park, 2012).
The procedure has three stages:
1. Each cow is evaluated and its supplement necessity is resolved.
2. A nourish creation is set up to meet the dairy animals' supplement necessity.
3. Strengthen is administered to each dairy animals, either by tractor or by nourishing station.
Checking wellbeing is an imperative procedure in illness aversion and control. Its goal is
to guarantee bovines are continuously solid and free of disease. What's more, wellbeing
observing encourages brisk recognizable proof of ailments and definition of treatment designs so
sullying is very much controlled. It was accepted that this procedure is as yet manual at
ArchiFarm. No innovation is utilized to perform or aid this procedure (Närman, Johnson and
Gingnell, 2014) (Kapoor, 2017).

The procedure has three stages:
1. The creature is analyzed for medical problems. Because of the manual idea of this errand,
wellbeing issues more often than not have progressed to the point where the creature's yield or
weight has been altogether influenced before they are identified (Azevedo et al., 2015).
2. Any issues distinguished are recorded to guarantee there is a wellbeing record for every
episode.
3. Therapeutic activities are actualized to settle the medical problem.
Heard recording is a critical procedure in propagation. Execution of each dairy animals in
the group is recorded for every occasion that strikes permit cultivate administration to screen
long haul changes in drain yields, conceptive execution and other critical measures of hereditary
change. The chronicle is for the most part caught physically aside from a couple of territories
where some innovation has been contributed, for example, sustaining and milking (Bok and
Shushok, 2014).
Milking is essential process in the collect of fantastic drain that is spotless and alright for
utilization. Every one of the three creation locales utilize hardware for draining. In any case, just
the Victoria site has a mechanical milking station that can change milking circumstances for each
cow (Acosta and Valdés, 2013).

Task 2.4
The company's head office is located in Sydney's and each production site is managed by
a site manager. The data related to the production and operation is periodically reported to the
head office. All the data collected is stored in the data center. The organization means to apply

data mining and predictive analytics algorithms to envision potential issues a long time before
genuine ailments happen. Learnings from one site ought to be quickly meant other generation
destinations with a specific end goal to keep the spread of disease (Crowe, 2016).
The youthful stock raising includes in raising the youthful ones for creating the profitable
drain cows. This work includes the advancement of supplement necessities, obtainment of
encourage supplies, booking of bolsters and sustaining to give upgraded cow execution. This
capacity works intimately with the youthful stock raising, drain gathering and cleanliness, and
multiplication capacities to help their destinations (Nieto Acevedo et al., 2016).
